For another daily create response I recently used Movie Flavor , a fun site for finding movie titles with a specific word in it. Like how many movies with daily in the title? create? heck even cheese? What about your own name in the movies?
You can see the pattern in the URLs– https://www.movieflavor.com/word/****** were ****** is the word you are looking for.
Try it with your own name, and find an interesting or obscure movie tile. What can you learn abou the movie? I tried Alan and ended up learning about some obscure TV show called What’s Alan Watching about “a 17-year-old couch potato who views life, and his family, as if they were on television.”
Wow, big hit.
What can you find?

About 30 years ago, when the Official #ds106 Athletic Club had a weighty membership, more mid-level managers, and that crazed group that created the fly fishing from canoes team, we also had several docudramas made about our efforts. The largely appeared in drive-ins because of the rowdy nature of the movie goers. Long before modern mosh pits, aficionados of these movies ran in circles drinking Gatorade while singing 80's songs and tearing the socks off each other.

One that made me curious was "Felix Finds Out (1924)" silent cartoon cat movie https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvNtt3dSmCQ
What a gem! The cat messes with dogs (the hot kind), we see a "modern" image of school, andkids punishment for being late is writing a paper that turns into a moonshine adventure.
The real web is one link leading to another, with uncertain destinations, not crap shoved into the mouths of minnow in a stream,

Best part of this was just plopping my dogs name into a web site, having it generate a list of two pages of movie names, clicking one at almost random, and finding that startling 2024 cartoon image of "school"
I followed the YouTube Account link hoping the CC in the handle might be a license thing, but it was "closed caption" — still a worthy find that NO GenAI search would ever yield.

@creating #tdc4864 #ds106 Apparently there are 62 movies with my name in the title. My personal favorite is The Invisible Bond, which has no image.
